  • a further concern of the present invention is to provide a lighting device which is more compact and yet able to emit light in a wider range of directions.
  • a lighting device which comprises a light transmitting element having a light in-coupling surface and a light out-coupling surface.
  • the light transmitting element is arranged along a perimeter and having an inner sidewall, an outer sidewall and a top surface such that the light transmitting element defines a hollow.

This allows for a reduced cost, and the released space may advantageously be used for receiving a heatsink or an electrical means.
  • the luminescent material may e.g. be relatively uniformly distributed in the light transmitting element so as to improve the spreading of light and/or color conversion within the light transmitting element, and to reduce the risk of glare.
  • the distribution of luminescent material may also be varied in different portions of the light transmitting element for providing a heterogeneously distributed emission and/or color conversion of light emitted from the light transmitting element. Combining the light transmitting element with the luminescent material allows for the light to be both color conversed and guided by the same element.

  • the reflected image of the light out-coupling surface may appear to be located within the enclosure defined by the envelope, and may, as a consequence of the shape of the envelope, be more or less distorted.
  • an envelope formed as a glass bulb having a tapering, cylindrical shape may provide a reflected image which resembles a candle flame, i.e. an image having a relatively wide base and an upwards tapering contour.
  • the hollow defined by the light transmitting element may be reflected in an interior of the simulated flame, thus providing a simulated flame having a relatively dark inner region enclosed by a relatively bright contour.
  • additional light emitting elements and/or light transmitting elements may be arranged within the hollow, e.g. along an additional perimeter.
  • the additional light emitting elements may emit light of different colors.
  • Light emitted by the additional light emitting elements may e.g. be reflected in the interior of the simulated flame, thereby improving the visual appearance of the simulated flame.
  • the invention according to the present aspect is advantageous in that the distribution of light output by the lighting device may correspond to a simulated flame whose shape, color and intensity can be adjusted by means of e.g. the shape of the perimeter, the color of the emitted light, as well as the dimensions, light diffusing and color conversion abilities of the light transmitting element.
  • the hollow may be formed as a through-hole with a depth extending from the light in-coupling surface to the light out-coupling surface.
  • the light transmitting element may e.g. conform to a surface of a genus, such as e.g. a toroid, a ring, a circle, an oval or a polygon, wherein the hole can be used to receive electrical means, such as a supply unit and a control unit for power supply or for control of the operation of the light emitting elements.
  • Additional light emitting elements may also be arranged within the through-hole. Arranging the electrical means and/or additional light emitting elements within the through-hole of the light transmitting element provides for a more compact lighting device.
  • heat conducting elements such as e.g. a heatsink, may be arranged within the hollow and brought in direct thermal contact with an underlying substrate so as to improve heat dissipation from the lighting device.
  • the light out-coupling surface may be oriented in several directions so as to provide multi-directional emission of light.
  • the light out-coupling surface may e.g. comprise a first surface portion extending in a vertical direction parallel to the depth of the hollow and a second surface portion extending in a lateral direction.
  • a lighting device wherein substantially all light is emitted through a laterally oriented surface may also be referred to as a top emitting lighting device, wherein a lighting device in which substantially all light is emitted through a vertically oriented surface may be referred to as a side-emitting lighting device. If light is emitted from a surface being oriented in two or more directions, the lighting device may be referred to as a multi-directional lighting device.
  • the light transmitting element may be formed such that, at a position along the perimeter, it has a lateral width that is larger than its height as measured along the depth of the hollow.
  • the lateral width of the light transmitting element at a position along the perimeter is smaller than its height at the same position.
  • a portion of the light out-coupling surface includes an at least partly light reflecting material, which advantageously allows for an adjustment of the direction and/or intensity of the light emitted by the lighting device.
  • the at least partly light reflecting material may e.g. be arranged on lateral surface portions, i.e. the top surface of the light transmitting element, so as to increase the amount of side emitted light.
  • the at least partly light reflecting material may be provided on vertically oriented portions, i.e. the inner and/or outer sidewalls of the light transmitting element to increase the amount of top emitted light.
  • the top- and/or side-emitting character of the lighting device may be varied depending on the coverage ratio of the light reflecting material.
  • a top emitting lighting device may e.g. be achieved by fully covering the sidewalls with a light reflecting material adapted to reflect all, or at least most of, the light impinging thereon.
  • a side emitting lighting device may be obtained by covering the top surface such that all, or at least most of, the light impinging on the covering material is reflected back into the light transmitting element.
  • Providing the at least partly light reflecting material on the portions of the light out-coupling surface that defines the hollow, i.e. the inner sidewalls of the light transmitting element, may reduce the amount of light being out-coupled into the hollow. As a result, the light emitting efficiency of the lighting device may be increased. This may be particularly advantageous for side emitting lighting devices, since the light transmitted by the light transmitting element can be out-coupled without passing through the inner sidewalls defining the hollow.
  • the at least partly light reflecting material may e.g. be formed of diffusively reflecting material, such as a white backscattering material, or specularly reflecting material such as e.g. a metal. Further, the material may be provided in the form of a coating, a body or a foil. An additional at least partly light reflective or at least partly light absorbing layer may be added in order to further reduce the amount of light being out-coupled from the underlying surface of the light transmitting element.
  • the hollow is at least partly filled with an at least partly light reflecting material and/or a heat conducting material.
  • the heat conducting material may act as a heatsink and facilitate dissipation of heat generated by e.g. the light emitting elements.
  • a material that is both heat conducting and at least partly light reflecting advantageously reduces the need for additional or separate cooling means and additional or separate light reflecting means.
  • arranging the heat conducting material such that it at least partly fills the hollow allows for an efficient heat sink, since it is arranged adjacent to the heat sources. It also allows for a relatively more compact lighting device, since the heat sink (and possibly also the light reflecting material) is arranged within the light transmitting element.
  • the light transmitting element comprises a light diffusing material.
  • the light transmitting element may e.g. be formed of a light diffusing material, or at least comprise portions that include such a material.
  • the light diffusing material may also be provided on the light in-coupling surface and/or the light out-coupling surface of the light transmitting element.
  • the material may e.g. be formed of a coating that partly or fully covers the surface portions of the light transmitting element.
  • the light diffusing material may advantageously improve the uniformity as well as the angular spread of light emitted by the plurality of light emitting elements, thereby resulting in a relatively more uniform light emission from the lighting device.
  • the light in-coupling surface may about the at least one light emitting element, thereby providing a thermal contact between the light transmitting element and the at least one light emitting element. Heat dissipation or cooling capacity may therefore be improved, which is beneficial to the efficiency of the lighting device.
  • the light transmitting element may e.g. be molded directly on the at least one light emitting element or a substrate to which the at least one light emitting element may be attached, thereby resulting in the at least one light emitting element being embedded in the light transmitting element. This advantageously allows for a reduced risk for leakage of light, i.e. light that is emitted without being received by the light transmitting element.
  • the light in-coupling surface may be arranged spaced apart from the at least one light emitting element.
  • the light transmitting element may e.g. be pre-fabricated, or pre-molded, and arranged over the at least one light emitting element by e.g. bonding or gluing, or attached by clamping or clicking.
  • the light transmitting element may e.g. be arranged on a spacer maintaining the distance between the light in-coupling surface and the at least one light emitting element.
  • the spacer may also prevent light emitted by the at least one light emitting element from exiting the lighting device without passing through the light transmitting element, thereby reducing the risk for light leakage.
  • the spacer may also facilitate mounting of the light transmitting element.
  • the at least one light emitting element is arranged on a substrate, wherein an outer sidewall of the light transmitting element is arranged to coincide with an edge of the substrate.
  • the lighting device further comprises a partially light reflecting envelope arranged to at least partially enclose the light transmitting element.
  • the envelope may be adapted to reflect, at an inner surface portion of the envelope, at least some of the light out-coupled from the light transmitting element.
  • a reflected image of the light transmitting element may be achieved within the enclosure defined by the envelope.
  • the reflectivity can be varied so as to vary the ratio between the amount of light that is emitted to illuminate the surroundings and the amount of light that is observed as the simulated flame.
  • the amount of light reflected by the inner surface of the envelope may e.g.
  • the top portion of the envelope i.e. the portion arranged further away from the light transmitting element in a lateral direction, may e.g. be more reflective than portions of the envelope arranged closer to the light source. This advantageously allows for a reflected image being relatively bright close to the top portion, whereas the loss of side-emitted light emitted to the surroundings through the portions of the envelope close to the light transmitting element may be reduced due to the relatively low reflectivity.
  • the envelope may e.g. be formed as a cone or tapered cylinder, and e.g. comprise a polymer or glass.
  • the embodiment is advantageous in that the visual appearance of the reflected image can be adjusted in terms of e.g. shape, color, intensity and brightness so as to e.g. resemble the appearance of a candle flame. This can be achieved by e.g. varying the ratio between the side- and top-emitting character, the arrangement of a light diffusing material and/or a luminescent material, and varying the shape of the perimeter.
  • the adjustment of the appearance of the simulated flame will be described in more detail with reference to the appended drawings.
  • one or several of the plurality of light emitting elements is/are controllable to adjust an amount of emitted light.
  • the simulated candle flame may appear to flicker or wave back and forth by e.g. pulsing individual light emitting elements in sequence, or varying the amount of generated light over time. As a result, the simulated flame may appear to be more natural.
  • light emitting element may refer to any element that is capable of emitting radiation in any region or combination of regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, for example the visible region, the infrared region, and/or the ultraviolet region, when activated e.g. by applying a potential difference across it or passing a current through it.
  • a light emitting element can therefore have monochromatic, quasi-monochromatic, polychromatic or broadband spectral emission characteristics.
  • Each light emitting element has at least one light source. Examples of light sources include solid state emitters, such as laser diodes and semiconductor light emitting diodes (LEDs), organic, or polymer/polymeric LEDs, blue LEDs, optically pumped phosphor coated LEDs, optically pumped nano-crystal LEDs or any other similar devices.
  • LEDs semiconductor light emitting diodes
  • organic, or polymer/polymeric LEDs blue LEDs
  • optically pumped phosphor coated LEDs optically pumped nano-crystal LEDs or any other similar devices.

  • Lighting devices according to other embodiments will be described with reference to figures 2a and b.
  • the lighting device 200 shown in figure 2a may be similarly configured as the lighting device 100 described with reference to figures 1a-c , but according to the embodiment of figure 2a , a light reflecting material 180 may be provided on portions of the light out-coupling surface 122.
  • the light transmitting element 120 such as e.g. a phosphor, may have a lateral width w of the lateral top surface portion 125 that is larger than the height h of the vertical sidewall portion 123 as measured in a direction parallel to the extension of the depth of the through-hole 130.

  • the light transmitting element 120 may have an average lateral width w of the lateral top surface portion 125 that is smaller than an average height h of the vertical sidewall portion 123.
  • the area of the lateral top surface 125 is relatively small compared to the area of the vertical sidewall portion 123.
  • a light reflecting and heat conducting material may be provided on the top surface 125 of the light transmitting element 120 so as to reflect top-emitted light back into the light transmitting element 120. As a result, a side-emitting lighting device may be obtained.
  • the hollow 130 in this embodiment formed as a through-hole, may be filled with a heat conducting and light reflecting material 172 which thereby acts as a light reflecting heat sink.
  • the heat generated by the LEDs 110 may then be dissipated by means of the heat sink.
  • the through-hole 130 is filled with the heat conducting and light reflecting material 172, the light transmitted through the light transmitting element 120 towards the hollow 130 may be reflected back at the vertical surface portions 124 of the light out-coupling surface facing the through-hole 130.
  • the through-hole may be filled with two different materials, such as a relatively light reflecting material, which may be provided on or adjacent to the light out-coupling surface, and a relatively heat conducting material which fills up the remaining part of the through-hole 130.
  • the relatively light reflecting material may e.g. be a silver coating

  • a light reflecting or transflecting material 180 may be arranged on top of the lighting device 300 such that it fully covers the lateral portions 125 of the light out-coupling surface of the light transmitting element 120.
  • the circular disc may have a diameter that is slightly larger than the corresponding diameter of the underlying light transmitting element 120 such that an overhang is provided by a peripheral portion of the disc.
  • the overhang 185 may shadow the peripheral, vertical sidewall 123 of the light transmitting element 120 such that some of the light that is out-coupled through the vertical sidewall 123 may be reflected by the overhanging portion 185 of the disc.
  • the arrows of figure 3 represent a contemplated path of light emitted by one of the LEDs 110.
  • the emitted light may be transmitted by the light transmitting element 120 towards the portion 124 of the light out-coupling surface defining the hollow 130.

  • the light may exit the light transmitting element 120 through the outer, vertical sidewall 123, at which it is converted by the luminescent material 150 and diffused by the diffusing layer 140.
  • the diffused light is illustrated by a plurality of arrows, or light rays.
  • the outer, vertical sidewall 123 of the light transmitting element 120 may be arranged such that it coincides with an edge of the substrate 160 so as to reduce the risk for shadowing effects and obstructions of light, thereby increasing the amount of light emitted in downward directions.

  • Light emitted from the light source may be reflected at an inner surface of the glass bulb 190, thereby generating a reflected image 510 of the light source.
  • the reflected image 510 may be more or less distorted.
  • a glass bulb 190 having a shape conforming to a tapering cylinder may reflect the light source such that the reflected image 510 resembles a candle flame, i.e. having a relatively wide base and a tapering upper portion.
  • the simulated flame may be divided into different regions, or zones. In figure 5 , four different regions may be identified based on the geometry of the light transmitting element 120.
  • the four regions are: the inner region 511, representing the hollow 130 of the light transmitting element 110; the intermediate region 512, representing light predominantly emitted from the inner sidewalls defining the hollow 130; the peripheral region 514 representing light predominantly emitted from the top 125 of the light transmitting element 120, i.e. the lateral surface portions of the light out-coupling surface; and the base region 516, representing light predominantly emitted from the outer, lateral sidewalls 123 of the light transmitting element.

  • the diffusing and/or reflecting and/or luminescent material 140, 150, 180 may be provided with various shapes and patterns so as to enable simulated flames 510 of various visual appearances.
  • a phosphor material may be selectively added to selected portions of the light out-coupling surface by e.g. printing.
  • the perimeter 105 may define a circle, an oval, or various types of polygons. Consequently, the light transmitting element 120 may have an extension conforming to said perimeter, hence forming a toroid or a toroidal polyhedron.

  • the additional LEDs 112 within the hollow 130 may be repeatedly turned on and off so as to generate a superimposed flicker of the intermediate region 512 and/or inner region 511 of the simulated flame 510.
  • the duration of the respective on and off periods, as well as the rise and decay times and the frequency of the flickering LEDs 110, 112 may be adjusted to obtain a simulated flame 510 having an improved resemblance with e.g. a candle flame.
  • the plurality of light emitting elements 110 arranged along the perimeter may be randomly turned on and off, or sequentially operated in order to obtain a simulated flame 510 that appears to be waving back and forth. Also, by gradually switching on and off a plurality of light emitting elements along an outer perimeter, a plurality of light emitting elements along an intermediate perimeter and a plurality of light emitting elements along an inner perimeter, the flame may be perceived as growing and shrinking in size over time.
  • Figure 6 is a schematic outline of a method, wherein a lighting device is obtained which is similarly configured as the lighting device according to any one of the previously described embodiments.

Such fixtures may also provide a reduced glare due to the side emitting light source.
